Custom Table Registration API in Oracle Application

This Post (document) provides you with information you need to register tables to be used in Oracle Alerts and Flex fields with Oracle Applications. We will be learning about Procedures in the AD_DD Package,

Procedure REGISTER_TABLE, Procedure REGISTER_COLUMN, Procedure DELETE_TABLE, Procedure DELETE_COLUMN

And Example of Using the AD_DD Package.

Introduction
Though Oracle Applications comes with thousands of seeded database tables, there can be numerous applications in which one might be required to create a custom table to be used. In most of the applications all you need is to create a table in a schema and use it directly in your applications. Flex fields and Oracle Alert are the only features or products that require the custom tables to be registered in Oracle Applications (Application Object Library) before they can be used.

You register your custom application tables using a PL/SQL procedure in the AD_DD package. Therefore you only need to register those tables (and all of their columns) that will be used with flex fields or Oracle Alert.

You can also use the AD_DD API to delete the registrations of tables and columns from Oracle Application Object Library tables should you later modify your tables. If you alter the table later, then you may need to include revised or new calls to the table registration routines. To alter a registration you should first delete the registration, and then reregister the table or column. Remember, you should delete the column registration first, then the table registration. You should include calls to the table registration routines in a PL/SQL script. Though you create your tables in your own application schema, you should run the AD_DD procedures against the APPS schema. You must commit your changes for them to take effect.

The AD_DD API does not check for the existence of the registered table or column in the database schema, but only updates the required AOL tables. You must ensure that the tables and columns registered actually exist and have the same format as that defined using the AD_DD API. You need not register views.

Procedures in the AD_DD Package

http://www.dataqapps.com/category/oracle-r12-application/
1. Procedure REGISTER_TABLE

procedure register_table ( p_appl_short_name in varchar2, p_tab_name in varchar2, p_tab_type in varchar2, p_next_extent in number default 512, p_pct_free in number default 10, p_pct_used in number default 70); 2. Procedure REGISTER_COLUMN

procedure register_column (p_appl_short_name in varchar2, p_tab_name in varchar2, p_col_name in varchar2, p_col_seq in number, p_col_type in varchar2, p_col_width in number, p_nullable in varchar2, p_translate in varchar2, p_precision in number default null, p_scale in number default null); 3. Procedure DELETE_TABLE

procedure delete_table (p_appl_short_name in varchar2, p_tab_name in varchar2); 4. Procedure DELETE_COLUMN

procedure delete_column (p_appl_short_name in varchar2, p_tab_name in varchar2, p_col_name in varchar2); VARIABLE NAMES DESCRIPTION The application short name of the application that owns the table (usually your custom application). The name of the table (in uppercase letters). Use T if it is a transaction table (almost all application tables), or S for a seed data table (used only by Oracle Applications products).

p_appl_short_name p_tab_name

p_tab_type p_pct_free

The percentage of space in each of the tables blocks reserved for future updates to the

http://www.dataqapps.com/category/oracle-r12-application/
table (199). The sum of p_pct_free and p_pct_used must be less than 100. Minimum percentage of used space in each data block of the table (199). The sum of p_pct_free and p_pct_used must be less than 100. The name of the column (in uppercase letters). The sequence number of the column in the table (the order in which the column appears in the table definition). The column type (NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE, etc.). The column size (a number). Use 9 for DATE columns, 38 for NUMBER columns (unless it has a specific width). Use N if the column is mandatory or Y if the column allows null values. Use Y if the column values will be translated for an Oracle Applications product release (used only by Oracle Applications products) or N if the p_translate p_next_extent p_precision p_scale

p_pct_used p_col_name

p_col_seq p_col_type

p_col_width p_nullable

Values are not translated (most application columns).

The next extent size, in kilobytes. Do not include the K. The total number of digits in a number. The number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a number.

Example of Using the AD_DD Package

Here is an example of using the AD_DD package to register a flex field table and its columns:

Though the use of AD_DD package does not require that the table should exist first, it is always better to create one and proceed further. Use the below mentioned script to create the dummy table. Use the APPS User ID to run the below mentioned queries from TOAD or SQL*PLUS.

CREATE TABLE TEST_DESC ( RESOURCE_NAME VARCHAR2 (150), RESOURCE_TYPE VARCHAR2 (100), ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY VARCHAR2 (40), ATTRIBUTE1 VARCHAR2 (150), ATTRIBUTE2 VARCHAR2 (150), ATTRIBUTE3 VARCHAR2 (150), ATTRIBUTE4 VARCHAR2 (150), ATTRIBUTE5 VARCHAR2 (150), ATTRIBUTE6 VARCHAR2 (150) ); BEGIN

http://www.dataqapps.com/category/oracle-r12-application/
AD_DD.REGISTER_TABLE (FND,'TEST_DESC,'T); END; BEGIN AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'RESOURCE_NAME, 1, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'RESOURCE_TYPE, 2, VARCHAR2, 100, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY, 3, VARCHAR2, 40, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE1, 4, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE2, 5, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE3, 6, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE4, 7, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE5, 8, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); AD_DD.REGISTER_COLUMN (FND, TEST_DESC,'ATTRIBUTE6, 9, VARCHAR2, 150, Y, N); END;

Summary
From this document You can register your custom application tables using a PL/SQL procedure of AD_DD package in Oracle Application . And You can also use the AD_DD API to delete the registrations of tables and columns from Oracle Application Object Library tables should you later modify your tables.
